In this special section of The London Times, published Sept. 19, an international group of business writers and noted financial industry thought leaders had a go at unpacking the most interesting developments and challenges in the wide world of fintech—all with the goal of predicting the future of payments.
Galileo is sharing the insights of this diverse group, including our own CEO Clay Wilkes (page 7, “Riding high with unicorns”), to expand our understanding of payments beyond the four walls of our individual businesses. So, if you’ve ever wondered whose population is the leading adopter of fintech, whether spending money can buy you happiness or how to differentiate in an age of commoditization, these 24 pages are a treasure trove of knowledge and opinion.
Enjoy this great read compliments of Galileo!
